2.Turning to God and seeking His help and wisdom in
holding and adopting

A written “group conscience” with minutes of the decisions, and covering

The
foregoing and any other needed points.

3.Calling Ken and me as content providers; acquiring How to Conduct “Old-School” 12 Step Recovery Meetings Using
Conference-approved Literature: A Dick B. Guide for Christian Leaders and
Workers in the Recovery Arena (Available now for a short while on the
center page of the dickb.com website as a $9.95 download); and acquiring the Stick with the Winners class (soon to be
available on the DickB. ChristianRecoveryRadio.com website pages).

·A letter just sent to a long-time “winner”
Christian recovery leader, who founded some James Club, and is coming to Maui
soon.

1.Thanks so much for the rapid reply.

2.We know tons about Maui because we’ve lived here for 22 years, and have
been coming here with our family for long stays since 1968.

3.Thanks for the clues as to your knowledge and your possible budget.

4.First, the Sheraton is beautiful, even more expensive than ever, and far
far removed from the rest of the Island. Good place to visit, even swim, stay,
and eat, but not to stay at the center.

5.Second, there are lots of expensive hotels up there in Lahaina area and
also down here in Kihei-Wailea.

6.Kihei is where we live. Best beaches. Less humidity by far. Seldom
rains. Beautiful sunsets. 30 minutes from the Airport.40 minutes from Lahaina. As near as you can
get to the Crater and to the Iao Needle. And still well situated to see and sup
at the big hotels in Wailea and Kaanapali- Lahaina. Hana is perhaps an hour and
a half ride on tortuous roads, and often ignored – though attractive.

8.John, I’m delighted to see the James Club still alive, and I hope we can
get you enthused over our old school guidebook, meetings, and classes. That’s
our focus.

9.I hope you can and will participate in one of our workshop-conferences
in the SF Bay Area. Or Orange County at His Place Church and possibly Mariners.

10.Where do you stay? Days Inn (also Maui Oceanfront). 2980 South Kihei
Road. Very very close to us and to the ocean. Very reasonable. And grocery
stores accessible too.

11.We are working up our guide books and doing class films right now. We
welcome visitors and ideas and support as well as resources such as old or new
copies of DR. BOB and the Good Oldtimers, The Co-Founders of Alcoholics
Anonymous (Pamphlet P-53), and A.A. Comes of Age as well as extra copies
ofthe3rd or4th editions of the Big Book.

12.We are urging the formation of area community collaboration efforts
where leaders like you arrange with other churches, fellowships,12 Step groups, etc. to hold history-Bible
oriented-Big Book meetings on alternative nights so that new people get more
than one shot a week.
